The bully's power over Republican legislators, even after he sent people to kill them, reflects their dependence on donations from billionaires.

The "pros and cons of Covid vaccine passports" does not mention the two issues about them that most concern me.

I have no objection to requiring a traveler to present a certificate of vaccination along with per passport when crossing a border. But if the system requires the traveler to have a portable phone, that makes it unjust. Portable phones are tracking and listening devices, which is why I refuse to carry one.

If restaurants and other businesses check these certificates, that could require people to have portable phones to enter them. But even if they accept paper certificates, the system could still result in identifying every vaccinated person who visits them. Tracking people's movements creates a database for repression, whenever a government chooses to use it.

Christian extremists have taught some of Brazil's indigenous people's to refuse to be vaccinated for Covid-19.

I wonder if they will refuse vaccination for measles too. If that gets loose among them, large numbers could die.

The wrecker told the organizers of the Jan 6 rally there would be no march — then he surprised them by calling for a march on the Capitol.

And why did the Capitol Police let the criminals leave without noting down who they were?

He also provided at least 3.5 million to those organizers through hidden channels.

Most Republican senators have demonstrated they are the wrecker's flunkies. No crime is so bad they would condemn him for it.
